Green bean plants… brown spots #876223
Asked July 07, 2024, 6:45 PM EDT
Hello! I started a brand new garden this year and decided to try out a new variety of green beans (Bean, Bush, Burpees Stringless Green Pod). I’ve got these brown spots developing on several of my plants and am unsure exactly what is going on. I’m hoping you can help me identify what it is and give some advice to prevent it from spreading further! Thank you!

Good Morning Kristen,
Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service.
Please click on the following link from the U of M Extension Yard and Garden website:

If you scroll down, there is detailed information about growing beans. This website can be searched for any plant issues you may have.
The small brown spots on the leaves are not a big problem. They've been beaten by the wind and rain. Nature is not perfect and the leaves appear to be healthy. At this point, there is not a problem. This could be a little bacterial blight. As the weather warms and the garden dries out, this should not be a problem.
Good Luck!
